My massage practice is based in Hot Stone Lomi Lomi. I love the grounding experience of the hot stones combined with slow, flowing strokes and ocean-like rhythmic breathing of Lomi. I weave together techniques from Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Shiatsu, Sports and Thai Massage, Cupping, Aromatherapy, Sound Therapy and Reiki, in addition to my custom flower essences and pain relieving oil blends, to create deeply nourishing therapeutic sessions that effortlessly ease my clients into a wholehearted state of bliss.  My approach to pain relief is this: if the nervous system is relaxed, the body will relax and be receptive to deeper therapeutic work. Stress keeps us in a state of fight or flight, holding our breath, where we aren’t able to truly feel the benefits of therapeutic massage. That’s why so many people think the key to relieving pain is with the deepest pressure possible, because they are accustomed to living in a state of stress. In my sessions, first we relax. We breathe. We slow down the mind and warm the body so that it knows it is safe to release tension. We ease into deeper levels of pressure at the speed of our breath. We safely stretch and mobilize joints, use warm, hand crafted pain relieving oils to address muscle aches, scar tissue and move stagnant lymph. We work at the pace each body requires and arrive in a state of calm.  The world moves fast— healing is a slow unwinding. I look forward to seeing you on my table
